The Search For Enlightenment

At the end of a massive weekend for winners, Kara Tointon and Artem Chigvintsev in Strictly Come Dancing, AP McCoy in Sports Personality 2010 and Stella English in The Apprentice.

All winners in their own fields or chosen goal, but what about the losers? For every winner there must be at least one loser, right? Wrong !!!

Daisaku Ikeda had this to say:

“Strength is Happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being.”

So going home with the shiny prize isn’t the only way you can win, again President Ikeda has pearls of Wisdom …

“It is not how you compare to others that is important, but rather how you compare to who you were yesterday. If you’ve advanced even one step, then you’ve achieved something great.”

So whatever kind of weekend you’ve had, you can look at things in several ways, and still come out of it as a winner.
